Hi All,

I was have to create a script to search and find files. The files will
end in 'a.txt', 'b.txt', 'c.txt', so a record could have 123a.txt,
123b.txt, 123c.txt.

There may be lots of ways to achieve my goal but I got curious about
how to create a structure that, for each record would store the
associated files. Below is what I started out with. The hash tries 3
ways to either return a code reference or a true/false value if the
file exists. I have tried putting junk values in the hash values - sub
{ return -e "$File::Find::dir/${num}Z.txt"} - but it always ouputs
with a YES.

So how do you create a code reference in this context, should I create
a code reference or use something else and what should I be test the
hash values for?
Thanx in advance.
Dp.



#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;

my $root = shift;
my @records;

find(\&wanted, $root);

for (@records) {
 print $_->{name},"\t";
 foreach my $l (qw/a b c j/) {
        if ($_->{$l}) {
                print "YES\t";
        }
        else {
                print "No\t";
        }
 }
 print "\n";
}


sub wanted {

 my ($num,$let) = ($_ =~ /(\d+)([\w{1}])\.txt/);
 print $_, "  $num Let=$let\n" if ($let !~ /i|j|k/) ;

 my @sizes = qw(a b c d e f h i j k);

 my %file = (
        name    => "f001/$num",
        a       => sub { return -e "$File::Find::dir/${num}a.txt"},
        b       => sub { return -e "$File::Find::dir/${num}b.txt"},
        c       => sub { return does_exist("$File::Find::dir/${num}c.txt") },
        j       => \&does_exist("$File::Find::dir/${num}c.txt"),
        );
 push(@records, \%file);

}

sub does_exist {
 my $file = shift;
 return sub { return -e $file };
}
